It's like Revenge of the Nerds, but with an axe

Slaughter High



     Right  from the start, this thing reeks of a  half-assed comedy. But sadly, nobody's funny. The next thing you realize is that you're going to be rooting for the killer.

Looks good on ya!!!

     A high school 'nerd' has a horrible prank pulled on him and soon it becomes nearly deadly. It's assumed that he's horribly disfigurement from an explosion and fire. Then we skip ahead to a class reunion organized by a mystery person. And naturally, the only one that doesn't show up is Marty, the disfigured nerd. This is going to blow your mind, but soon after the party has started, people start dying in horrible ways. Total surprise! Then it becomes a stalking film with people dropping off one by one, dying in way such as:

Poisoning, stabbing, acid bath, crucifix, lawnmower, electrocution, hanging, septic tank drowning, axe to face, impalement by spear, and a hypodermic needle to the eye!

That's probably not a tapeworm. But it is filled with poop.

     What's messed up about this film isn't in the scenes itself, but in the casting. A lot of the actors are English speaking in and American accent. The movie was also filmed in the UK, so...this really isn't an American film at all, but everyone is acting like it. This film starts out on a pretty good pace, but soon hits a wall and just draaaags on to the "tell-tale heart"- like ending. This is best viewed asleep.

Friday: You'd think at some point in time, state law officials would take over...
